ROOF RACKS AND LOAD

CARRIERS ^{(IF EQUIPPED)}

Stowing the Luggage Cover

The luggage cover can be stowed in the

luggage compartment.

WARNING: When loading the roof

racks, we recommend you evenly

distribute the load, as well as maintain

a low center of gravity. Loaded vehicles,

with higher centers of gravity, may

handle differently than unloaded

vehicles. Take extra precautions, such

as slower speeds and increased stopping

distance, when driving a heavily loaded

vehicle.

Installing the Luggage Cover

1. Insert the luggage cover.

For correct roof rack system function, you

must place loads directly on crossbars

affixed to the roof rack side rails. When

using the roof rack system, we recommend

you use Ford Genuine Accessory crossbars

designed specifically for your vehicle.

E309672

Make sure that you securely fasten the

load. Check the tightness of the load

before driving and at each fuel stop.

2. Attach the retaining cord to the

luggage compartment trim panel.

Note: Never place loads directly on the roof

panel. The roof panel is not designed to

directly carry a load.
